Oh you think corn is your ally...

You're welcome!
Ouch, clearly whoever was hiring for that role wasn't in the loop.
It very much was. Heart breaking.
There is a lot of that. But there is also a lot going on behind the scenes that can cause a posting to be pulled. Particularly as spicy (shitty) as the economy is these days.
I did a "final" interview, thought I nailed it. The following Monday they reposted the job. Wednesday I met with who would be my boss. Friday was had a job offer. I work here now.
I asked recruiting. He said the ATS reposts job postings that aren't filled every three weeks and apologized for the anxiety I experienced.
Oh I see it too now!
The Secret Level episode PAC-MAN: Circle is on theme. If you haven't seen it.
I thought it was a moldy piece of bread at first
You have to watch the commercial before you can access the turn signals, right?
True story! This is only 2ft deep. But don't jump in otherwise.
A rule of thumb I try to follow is to not yuck somebody else's yum. Probably worth considering before we criticize someone else.
That had to be one hell of a hit for it to run that fast!
And I've more added bro-dozer and pavement princes to my lexicon. Thank you comment section!

Vampire Queen
(thelemmy.club)
It wasn't her wings or teeth that gave it away. But the reflection she did not have.
When I started this piece I was planning to paint a reflection. Silly me. Looks unsettling without it which I think fits the scene.

Vampire
(thelemmy.club)
I'm trying for a modern Gothic look. When I look for vampire reference material the outfits are almost all from the Victorian era. This is my attempt to modernize the style a bit. What do you think? What would a modern vampire wear?

Spooktober
(thelemmy.club)
If you're thinking it's only July you'd be wrong. How do I know? My wife at I went shopping this weekend and 3 of the 4 stores were Halloween decked out. Clearly that means it's October...
And I wanted you try to paint a vampire.

That Hair
(thelemmy.club)
I pulled a black and white photo of this young man and had to paint his hair. But I felt like it needed out of this world colors. What do you think?
And as a bald man who once had hair that was always complimented by the barber, maybe I'm a little envious.

This one is my favorite by far is the black and white of Ludmila's face is by far my favorite. I feel like I really captured her spirit here.

Second pose from Dilnoza Abdusalimova. I tried to convey the energy I feel watching the video and hearing the music but in a still image.

Wicked Witch of the Lay-Z-Boy
(thelemmy.club)
Modern witches would never use a broom as transport when there is perfectly comfortably furniture! Fly in comfort ladies!
And the robe, IT HAS POCKETS!!

Dilnoza Abdusalimova
(thelemmy.club)
Found shorts of her on the internet where she does JoJo poses and they're FANTASTIC! I immediately needed to paint them. The first pose is very much her, we'll see what I do with the dozen or more other poses I saved.

Water Study
(thelemmy.club)
I received a record amount of feedback on my last attempt to paint water on skin. Thank you all! The biggest mistake I made was I was trying to paint water on a waxed surface like a car on skin.
I learned a long time ago light reacts with skin very different than hard surfaces. Only makes sense water would do the same. And several of you pointed that out. It also explains why I couldn't find any famous artists who painted what I was looking for. Because skin isn't car!
Oops.
How did I do this time?

Edit: There is supposed to be a small waterfall off screen to her left. The actual model was in the shower as a wet skin reference. I didn't want to paint someone in the shower. And people in waterfall scenes mostly focus on the waterfall! So I adapted this one.

Wet grass?

Trying a more detailed view of water droplets. How did I do?
